The Uscom 4C results for Q1 FY 2017 demonstrate cash receipts of $0.54M and down 11% from the record levels of the equivalent period in FY 2016. Total cash consumption of $0.67M included one off payments valued at $0.17M related to the Thor purchase and outstanding accounts, leaving operational cash outflow for the quarter of $0.5M. Operating costs were also increased due to payments to consultants for product R&D and regulatory preparation for the two new Uscom product series, BP+ and SpiroSonic, for market early in 2017. Cash on hand at the end of the period was $2.1M, with an additional $1.2M in options outstanding at an exercise price of 25c.
Business Review
Business activity for Q1 FY 2017 has been centred on Finalising the Uscom BP+ and BP+Reporter devices and the Uscom SpiroSonic devices – Flo, Smart, Mobile and Pro, and the SpiroReporter proprietary pulmonary function monitoring software platform. This has involved documentation and testing of the devices and the engagement of a new international testing and certification provider, the global TUV-SUD organisation, to which we will migrate most of our product audits. The SpiroSonic devices have been lodged for CE mark (Europe), and prepared for FDA (USA) and CFDA (China), approvals. This will allow us to sell our new products into each of the jurisdictions, while internally developing marketing collateral and engaging in distributor discussions
We have also been in China preparing for a new distribution model with CIIC in Shanghai and have established a new China office and Uscom service centre from which we will support our growing Chinese instal base.
Uscom CEO Associate Professor Rob Phillips said, “It is an incredibly exciting time for Uscom as we transition from a single product company to having three suites of practice leading cardiovascular and pulmonary monitoring devices with regulatory approval across global jurisdictions, and prepare for the accompanying growth in operations, distribution, partnerships, revenue and profitability.”
